About Te Rau Horopito

Te Rau Horopito is a co-educational full primary school in Rolleston, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 100 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 434. The school has been open since 2026.

With 100 students on roll, Te Rau Horopito is a medium-sized school — larger than about 26% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 434, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 51.9% and Asian at 31.7%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.43 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
